Note: If you are actually prepared to be whisked away for a weekend in Paris... it's more likely that it could actually happen ;-)

Create Space for Fun (Time Cleanup)

There are so many things that can weigh us down like bricks. And we all know about our "responsibilities" and the "I have to's" or the "I really should..." However a lot of the time we've created those situations ourselves.

Clean up your weekly agenda and reflect…

Step 1. How do you really want to spend your time?

Step 2. Could you take a hard look at your list of commitments and find a few that aren't really necessary? Really really necessary?

Step 3: Politely say no and free up your time.

Your Responsibilities

Children: Take some time to think about who you can reliably leave your children with. It's a good conversation to have with them as a just in case for emergencies as well.

Pets: Get to know your neighbors, a few boarding facilities in your area and potential pet sitters now when you have time.

House/Apt: Take a look at what needs to be kept up while you're away. Plants that need constant watering for example.

Your Closet

The goal... in 10 minutes throw together a few outfits for a weekend away.
